Christine Blasey Ford and the mysterious case of the missing : Why her story makes no sense
American Thinker ^ | 09/28/2018 | Ed Straker

Posted on 09/28/2018 8:27:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

There was a subtle fact to be learned from Christine Blasey Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. No, not merely that she lied about being afraid to fly on airplanes so she could delay the hearing as long as possible.

I'm referring to the mysterious incident in the bathroom. Press reports indicated that she claimed that Brett Kavanaugh "corralled" her into an upstairs bedroom. Now we have more detail: that Ms. Ford went to an upstairs bathroom, and when she came out, Kavanaugh dragged her into a bedroom.

My question is, why did Ms. Ford use an upstairs bathroom? Nearly all suburban homes near country clubs in America have bathrooms on the ground floor. Perhaps it was occupied, but Ms. Ford, who clearly remembers going to the bathroom, didn't even mention its existence.

If there had been a bathroom on the ground floor, as seems likely, and Ms. Ford could have used it, then there was no reason for her to use a bathroom upstairs. The only reason for Ms. Ford to go upstairs would be to go to a bedroom, with someone at this party.

This is what I believe is most likely to have occurred.

Ms. Ford went to a house party to meet boys. That's obvious. Ms. Ford claims that everyone else but her was drunk. She has no facts (or witnesses) to support her claim. I think she went there, was drinking, and voluntarily went upstairs with a boy – perhaps Brett Kavanaugh, or perhaps someone else. Then, when they started getting physical, Ms. Ford changed her mind after the fact and got upset, as women sometimes do.

I can't prove that this is what happened, but my version of events has as much corroboration as Ms. Ford's version, and it has the benefit of explaining why Ms. Ford went up a flight of stairs to go to "a distant bathroom."

Another unanswered question: How did Ms. Ford leave the party? She claimed she had to walk past Brett Kavanaugh to leave. Didn't she remember doing that? Did he try to stop her? She gave no recollection of that at all. You would think she would remember at least that.

And she did not remember how she got home, a six- or eight-mile journey. Did someone drive her? Did whoever took her home notice her apparent distress? Ms. Ford, by remembering only one part of the alleged events, conveniently makes her story immune to cross-examination.

This is a dead end.

I’ve been to plenty of beer drinking parties myself where someone else was in a bathroom and went to another.

There was even a time when all were occupied and I pissed outside.

And yes, it was Montgomery County MD.

SOME OTHER THINGS THAT DON’T ADD UP OR LOOKED STAGED:

* She cannot remember incidents from the past few months but is sure that Kavanaugh attacked her 36 years ago.

* She doesn’t know, or refused to say, how she got from the swimming pool to the party house and how she got home. She was too young to drive, so someone had to drive her, and the identity of the driver is important. The driver would testify how she looked if she had been attacked, and what she said, but she refused to say who drove.

* She cannot remember if she gave her therapy notes to the Washington Post two weeks ago.

* She said she knew that Kavanaugh and Judge would be at the party but gave no testimony as to how she knew them and how she knew they would be at the “gathering.”

* She couldn’t answer if she paid for the polygraph, and her attorneys had to answer that they paid for the polygraph.

* She hired the attorney, Katz, recommended by Senator Feinstein. Instead of reporting the allegation to the entire Judiciary Committee, Feinstein referred her to an activist Dem attorney.

* She says she told her therapist in 2012, during couples’ therapy, that Kavanaugh attacked her, but the therapist notes do not have Kavanaugh’s name. She was in couples’ therapy because of home remodeling issues between her and her husband: she wanted two front doors because of her claustrophobia. This is the impetus to make her report the attack in 2012? Couples’ therapy for home-remodeling? Ford does have some serious issues, which were not adequately probed during testimony.

* She complained about flying to D.C. to testify because of fear of flying, yet she flew to Maryland in August to meet with Feinstein and interview attorneys and has flown to Hawaii, Costa Rica, and other places.

* She said she did not know that the Judiciary Committee had offered to travel to California to interview her. This was on the news for a week, and her attorneys knew about the offer.

* She said he saw Judge six to eight weeks after the incident at the Safeway where he worked when she went shopping with her mother. But she didn’t tell her mother that he was one of the boys who had attacked her, and she joked that she had entered the store through a different door from the one her mother used because she didn’t want to enter through the same door.

* She did not tell her parents about the incident until August 2018 (36 YEARS LATER !!!!) , even though she was interviewing attorneys and meeting with Feinstein.

The state of Connecticut ought to consider voting out their jackass of a Senator Blumenthal.

Blumenthal may be the dumbest senator by asking a question that ultimately indicts himself.

He asked Kavanaugh if he knew the legal principle of “falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus” – Latin for false in one thing, false in everything.

Blumenthal is too stupid and arrogant to realize that this means that because he lied about serving in Vietnam, he lies about everything.

Correct. Her story is not credible with what she stated.

Memory gaps? Are indicators. Suppressed memories 36 years? Come on. Headshake.

But lets for now, focus on today. This will work out, in spite of the ComDems continuing to Bray:

FBI Investigation, FBI Investigation

Heee Haww, Heee Haww, Heee Haww!

RE: FBI Investigation, FBI Investigation

Note what the Dems are doing ... they want to take FBI resources away from protecting us from terrorists or criminals and investigate a 36 year old teenage assault.

This despite 6 FBI background investigations done on Kavanaugh spanning over a decade !

They ought to be ashamed of themselves ( are they even capable of shame anymore?).

It has also been reported that the permits for that remodel were obtained in 2008.

Recent pictures of Hillary and Dr. Ford’s lawyer have surfaced. I have no doubt they have been in contact.

Two of Ford’s lawyers have Soros Connections.

Yes, those need to be followed up and if it is provable that Soros is behind this, they need to be investigated and charged for the crimes committed.

As Rush says, Follow the Money.

You mean Chrissy Blowsey Ford?

The scared, mousy, squeaky, traumatized little girl who was afraid to fly from California to Washington, DC?

The same woman who flies to Hawaii, Costa Rica and the South Pacific to go surfing?

That Fraud?

So many holes in her story and that useless prosecutor they brought in missed it all... Why was music playing in a bedroom if the party was downstairs? They didn’t look and see the building permits for the remodel was in 2008, not 2012.. That wasn’t 30 years ago, a four year mistake just 6 years ago? She lied because she needed a story to connect why she brought it up in therapy in 2012? The lie about traveling she did establish, but she missed the real big lie. Ford said she needed time to drive from CA but was already in Delaware and could have done this last week

Too much thinking. Her claim is of a small group and she named all or all but one. Herself, bff Leyland,K,Judge & PJ.

A tiny group but leaved out (deliberately) the homeowner and who drove her - because they could establish for certain it never happened.

Impossible to forget those two. Plus everyone else denied it.

Who is the maggot Senator from Rhode Island? He is consumed by the fact that 18 year olds like to drink. When I was 18 my favorite hangout was an Air Force beer lounge.

In the midst of Blumenthal talking about lying, and Hillary talking about the need for victims to be heard, and Rep Kennedy III talking victims rights, the Democrats look like utter buffoons. Lying political fools.

The Democrats have ignored so many women victims with so much more evidence that they are forever stained by their hypocrisy and deceit.

"...The only reason for Ms. Ford to go upstairs would be to go to a bedroom, with someone at this party..."

Ford is a lying dissembing, scheming, Leftist tool. But to be fair, the bathroom on the floor might have had someone it it, and when you gotta go, you gotta go.

That is all I am going to give her, though.

The only reason for Ms. Ford to go upstairs would be to go to a bedroom, with someone at this party.

The only reason? Doubtful. Sometimes people want to get away from the group for some peace and quiet. Sometimes they want to see what drugs are in the bathroom cabinet. Sometimes they just explore somebody else's house. Who hasn't done that as a teenager? Get your mind out of the gutter, American Thinker.

This is what I believe is most likely to have occurred.

What I believe is that it never happened. Something happened to her somewhere sometime with somebody. But the details she gives now probably don't correspond to an actual incident at that (unspecified) time and place. It's a vivid but false memory that she has come to believe over time.

I'm surprised she didn't point out the obvious:

She took an Uber ride home. :-P
